The verdict is in.....

We are moving.

To Prescott Arizona, and I have never been there.

Ty's job gave him an offer we couldn't refuse.

As soon as our house sells we will be out of here.

I am looking forward to it and really nervous all at the same time.

Wish us luck!

So much going on













We have had a crazy couple of weeks. We put new flooring in our house and that was way more work then I was anticipating.




The kids were awesome at helping out. They loved the destruction. They pulled the linoleum out like pro's.


We previously had carpet and linoleum, the builders had to put a sub floor in so that the linoleum and carpet were the same height. We realized that we were going to have to finish extending the sub flooring to where the carpet was to even out the floor, so off to home depot we went to buy the sub floor. Tyler had to make all the cuts for the angles and then we could lay the sub floor.

Britton helped his Dad lay the sub floor. Here he is learning how to use the nail gun.


Britton and Shayna taking turns at hammering in a nail to mark the spot for the heat vent.

Since we didn't have a kitchen table for a few days the kids had to eat their breakfast pic-nic style. I thought it would be fun and adventurous....they thought differently.

Poor Hilda didn't quite know what to do with herself.




Through all of this she got an eye infection. Poor thing. I don't know if she got saw dust in her eye or if she is just stressed. I hope it goes away soon, she looks miserable.
getting closer to being done....


and even closer.....


and done....




Well almost. I still have to buy a area rug but you get the idea. I'm not sure why I didn't take a picture of the kitchen area, it has the same floor all through out. I love it!

Shayna has been complaining about headaches a lot lately. I thought maybe it had something to do with her eyes so I was kind of waiting for her school to do their vision screening. That came and went and I never heard anything from them but Shay continued to have headaches. I made her an appointment at the eye Dr. and sure enough she needed reading glasses.























She looks so cute in them and best of all....no more headaches. YEAH!!


We finally found some extra time between fixing up the house, soccer, sick cat, eye appointments, work and ballet to enjoy some time at the pumpkin patch. Shane even came with us. It took some convincing but he finally gave in and really enjoyed it.















Weird kids looking for weird pumpkins














Taking turns giving each other rides.






































While the kids were playing in the hay maze Britton ran into his friend Garrett.

Either Garrett is really tall, or Britton is really short....not sure which??? Actually I do know. BOTH!


Britton trying his hardest to avoid the camera.


While Britton played in the Hay maze Shane and I took pictures of Shayna.









































We found this really scary pumpkin. There are actually two spiders on this pumpkin. Can you find the other? It wasn't the spiders that scared me away, it was actually the price. Ohhhhh, shudder.


Halloween is right around the corner. I hope you have your costumes ready!

Happy Birthday Shane!

We celebrated Shane's Birthday a little early this year. We thought it would be nice to do it while Grandma Donna was in town and it happened to be during the time that Ty got to come home for a visit. Shane's best friend Stacey was there too!








Happy Birthday old man. We love you!!
